The only thing that fixed the '0x8007000d' error for me was upgrading my windows through MediaCreationTool20H2 tool, I have tried everything else I could find online and nothing worked, but after upgrading windows with this tool "Create Windows 10 installation media"

found here: "https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10" my problem went away. Choose the option 'Upgrade this PC now' after opening the app and then the option keep apps and files, that option is default anyway. Here is the link Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com).

edit: Just in case, there are two downloads on the page the first is "Update Now" the second is "Download tool now", use the second one 'download tool now'. Some people have said the upgrade might fail for some if unnecessary USB drives and devices is plugged in while doing the upgrade, I haven't experienced this, but just in case unplug all unnecessary USB devices.

    Error 0x8007000d installing windows updates

    Greetings @MojoBoingo,

    No chance that your name was a reference to the group "Oingo Boingo" by chance? LOL! Anyways, this is the solution that had helped me with the issues with all dealings with the entire featured update "2021-02 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB4601382)". Might I add that this specific situation had spun me into a world of pissed off that I had never experienced in my life, as it had also caused my drives to fail and corrupt & had also been a job for me in the span of over 6 days. In other words, I had to Nuke everything with DBAN, short for Dariks Boot and Nuke. The name explains everything, no need for any jibber-jabber: https://dban.org/. "READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT PAY ATTENTION OR READ" "IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS"

    Working to repair the corrupted partitions of the featured update is messy, and is not guaranteed to work. So, since the DBAN has to be run from startup & booted through the BIOS and requires many hours, let it run to ensure a clean installation. Once everything has been wiped, please ensure that your Windows .ISO is on an ultra thumb drive and has been set as a bootable device & inserted into your most direct 3.0 USB slot. My mobo has a dedicated BIOS USB slot on it, I tend to use this for any type of system install, Windows/Drivers, etc. Boot this from the BIOS and reinstall everything to your desired drives. Ensure to delete and not format any drives when reinstalling Windows, as formatting will cause the drives to lose their readable volumes.

    Be careful when back up and running, and prior to any updates, do this:

    Follow these steps to stop Windows 10 updates: Fire up the Run command ( Win + R ). Type in “services. msc” and hit Enter. Select the Windows Update service from the Services list. Click on the “General” tab and change the “Startup Type” to “Manual or Disable”. Restart your machine.

    Then check periodically for updates for the failed feature update, without going to that failed feature update. Microsoft should remove these damaging updates.

    Hope this helps! I'm nobody special but an old geek LOL!

    My method above should handle these errors as well. I had seen these codes as well during my repair.

    I do hope that this helps you, Daniel.
